Earlier, you said, “I’m a punk.” Can you be punk rock and be who you are right now? Is that really possible?Can I be that today? Yeah, I think so. I hope so. I think we need different takes on life. There’s a number of people who might come from a similar background as I did and be a little bit weird or odd or whatnot and see me as being weird and odd and extra: “Yeah, if you can do it, I can do it.”

What did you initially respond to in punk?The fact that you would have these bands of three people get up onstage who were absolutely terrible. They would get booed. People would throw things at them. They would keep playing. Then they came back in two weeks, and they were a little bit better. Then they came back in two weeks, and they were much better. Then they came back in four weeks, and they were amazing.

It will be interesting comparing the Infection rates between Australia and New Zealand in a fee weeks. Scot Morrison has been copying Cindy from the get go, but his interpretation of lockdown is a far cry from what Aoteroa is experiencing. I'm still working and the streets are still full of cars. The parks are full of people exercising and kicking foot balls. The restaraunts and bars are closed... but half stay open just for takeaway. Its business as usual really.I'm gona keep working til I'm told not to, I cant get government subsidies and being an apprentice I live week to week with fuck all savings. I kind of have to work.Maybe Scott Morrison will follow suit and crack down harder. Who knows.Anyway hope u all have a good supply of , t v shows. Podcasts, books and grog.

'I Like It When You Die' is the fourth album by American grindcore band Anal Cunt. The album was originally titled You're Gay, and the album cover was going to contain a mirror, but this idea was later changed

Pretty much neck and neck at the moment on a per capita basis. It's a long game though eh, so who knows.

There's more to life than thrashSo let's get really smashedand do the heavy head dance

The nerds need to step in before Australia yanks their own chain too hard over comparing their sausage to our pickle. The per capita stats were always going to look worse for smaller countries. Just because we have 20% of Australia's population, doesn't mean any one infected person here only had 20% as many social contacts. Same reason why Iceland has so many cases per million and Belgium's death stats look particularly terrible.

Apparently degrees of separation increases logarithmically with population size. So if Australia had an equally strict lockdown adhered to equally promptly, you might expect their cases per capita to be half of NZ's. But I guess it gets complicated if the stats include cases caught overseas, infected NZers travel via Australia to get home and so on.
